Program Manager, Environmental Health and Safety Operations

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

Our mission is to grow and promote Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) to enable everyone to thrive in their work and community by delivering an effective and collaborative EHS program that is recognized for its integrity, partnership, and care. Our organization is committed to protecting the physical, emotional, and mental health of our teams through proactive and engaging EHS Programs and Services.

This commitment extends to environmental regulatory compliance & technical due diligence, occupational safety regulatory compliance, occupational health regulatory compliance, contractor management & EHS performance management, incident investigations, design for safety, new product introductions, consensus standards, and assurance.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $108000 - $153000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
